The Criminal Loophole

According to the investigating agents, Kimpton would use false names to contact online sellers in several states about purchasing firearms and other goods. He would agree to make a purchase and use an electronic payment platform to complete the order. The sellers were in Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Tennessee, Washington state and South Carolina. [More]
So he broke multiple "laws"?

Again, if we just got rid of all the guns, stuff like this wouldn't happen.

Right?

"used a complicated scheme to obtain weapons, ammunition and tactical gear without paying for them."
"After he took possession of the item, he would contest the sale, saying he never received it. Kimpton was therefore able to keep the purchased good and receive a refund, agents said."

Wow. If journalists consider this "complicated," their hiring departments need to be giving them tougher IQ tests.
